The Power(Harry Potter/The Gamer)

Because is is not just about ideals but also about the situation on the ground. I do not want Harry to share a House with a bunch of pure-blood-supremacist brats who's parents are Death Eaters.

Oh, yeah. I didn't mean I disagreed with you, I personally prefer Hufflepuff or Gryffindor.

I just meant that it's an option. It would be a challenge, yes, but If we wanted to go that path, it could still be fun. If we level the right stats up and max out our maniacal laughter, we could convert them. Remake them in our own image.
 
In other words turn into a Dark Lord ala most of the crappy fics DLP seems to like?

Yes, we'd just have to make a more entertaining image to change them to. As the Gamer, our manipulation works more on numbers. We can make them Dark, or more entertainingly, businessmen. Start a company. Manufacture brooms. Take the world by storm.

So a crack quest. Not really what I am looking for either, but that is just me, so we'll see what the majority decides

Evil can be interesting provided it's done well. . .

And have you ever seen evil!Harry done well in a fanfic? I confess I have not. Some good Voldemort POVs but that is it.

In other settings? Sure. In HP, sticking close to canon? Not really. Harry Potter exists in a world that has moral absolutes. X is demonstratively good, Y is demonstratively evil. Doing Y makes you crazy.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good villain protagonist, but you really have to twist around the setting if you want to have an Evil Harry.
 
Why would he want to? That's the thing; being IC is a thing and Harry is in no way that manipulative or willing to tolerate being around people who are basically very similar to his Uncle Vernon for his whole time away from Uncle Vernon!

Also, I have a question; why hasn't Harry been gaining Monk levels? Or is that because he found a 2nd Edition set of books?

This quest is not approaching Crack territory at all thus far.

That's a stupid way of looking at things. Moral absolutes are retarded and don't allow for complex characters.
 
Protection from Evil would help at the end of book 1, as it would stop what Voldie did to knock Harry out after Quirrell died. Or at least help.
That's movie only; in the books, what took Harry out was feedback from touching Quirrel- touching him burnt Quirrel, but hurt Harry to the point of nearly killing him.
 
It's all up to us, though. We could make the Slytherins into an order of knights devoted to preserving the old ways and educating the new muggleborn students. Appeal to their pride.

I don't think we should spend so much time on something like that, but we can, largely, do what we want.

We have a lot of options, let's play with some ideas.

I would like to have Book Ron around, personally. Movie Ron has given him a bad name. I'd like to stick with Gryffindor, become a legendary hero, gain some actual trust from Dumbledore, and inspire people. Without a Horcrux in our head, he has less of a reason to keep us in the dark.
 
Not really Crack, at most it would be Serious-Crack. The difference is, despite the MC being Cracky, everyone else is all Serious Business. While we might be able to drive Harry to be Crack-y, we can't make anyone else act that way, unless we use some mind magics.

The powers we have as the Gamer are what make it Cracky, not anyone's attitude. . .we are OP, or at least we will be.

I agree. We might dip towards Crack from time to time, but it's not like an all or nothing thing.

We can stay grounded most of the time. It'll fit the universe better.

Managing that without lots of mind control would be... difficult... to say the least.

Unless we pick up the Bluff skill, anyway.


(Yes, I am aware this is the wrong edition)

Being OP does not make it crack. It's how people handle the situation. If Harry becomes care-free, and takes up messing with people, then it's crack. If he just so happens to have ridiculous powers, yet treats them completely seriously, then it's not crack.
